Hansen, Charles D. | Parallel lumigraph reconstruction | This paper presents three techniques for reconstructing Lumigraphs/Lightfields on commercial ccNUMA parallel distributed shared memory computers. The first method is a parallel extension of the software-based method proposed in the Lightfield paper. This expands the ray/two-plane intersection test a... | Lumigraph; Lightfield; Illumination; Parallel reconstruction; Ray tracing | 1999 |

Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.; Shirley, Peter S. | Parallel methods for isosurface visualization | isosurface extraction and vis utilization is crucial for explorative scientific visualization of extremely large scientific data. The shear number of polygons extracted and the subsequent rendering time limit interactivity. We explore two solutions to this problem: exploiting parallel graphics hardw... | Isosurfaces; Ray tracing; Large data | 1999 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Peephole optimization of asynchronous macromodule networks | Abstract- Most high-level synthesis tools for asynchronous circuits take descriptions in concurrent hardware description languages and generate networks of macromodules or handshake components. In this paper, we propose a peephole optimizer for these networks. Our peephole optimizer first deduces an... | | 1999 |

Freire, Juliana | Personalizing the web using site descriptions | The information overload on the Web has created a great need for efficient filtering mechanisms. Many sites (e.g., CNN and Quicken) address this problem by allowing a user to create personalized pages that contain only information that is of interest to the user. We propose a new approach for p... | XPointer; Data extraction; Site descriptions; Personalized web pages | 1999 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Personnel policy, costs of experimentation, and racial inequality in the Pre-World War II North | Between 1910 and 1940, the black population of the northern United States nearly tripled, rising from just over I million to more than 2.7 million, signaling the start of the "Great Migration" of African-Americans out of the South.

Mallon, Ronald | Political liberalism, cultural membership and the family | In a recent article on developments in John Rawls's theory of justice, S.A. Lloyd notes a problem in Rawls's treatment of the family. In Political Liberalism (hereafter PL), Rawls concedes that his theory assumes that "in some form the family is just." And Lloyd takes this to mean that the principle... | Theory of justice; Equality; Upbringing | 1999 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Practical advances in asynchronous design and in asynchronous/synchronous interfaces | Asynchronous systems are being viewed as an increasingly viable alternative to purely synchronous systems. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art in practical asynchronous circuit and system design in four areas: controllers, datapaths, processors, and the design of asynchr... | | 1999 |

Couldwell, William T. | Prolactinomas: focus on indications, outcomes and management of recurrences | Although prolactinomas are discovered at autopsy with equal frequency in women and men, they present clinically in women far more often than in men. In children, "in whom they are the most common type of adenoma, prolactinomas are seen more often in girls than in boys. In a series of nearly 400 PRL... | Outcome; Pituitary adenoma; Prognosis; Prolactin; Transsphenoidal surgery | 1999 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Purification and characterization of an α-actinin-binding PDZ-LIM protein that is up-regulated during muscle differentiation | α-Actinin is required for the organization and function of the contractile machinery of muscle. In order to understand more precisely the molecular mechanisms by which α-actinin might contribute to the formation and maintenance of the contractile apparatus within muscle cells, we performed a scree... | LIM domains; Z-disc; Actin; Actinin-associated LIM proteins; PDZ-LIM protein | 1999 |
